Scored across 1 tool
There is only one tool, so there is no possibility of misselecting between overlapping tools. Its description clearly delineates its scope (curated news search with interests, query, profile, and since parameters).
The single tool uses a clean snake_case verb_noun pattern (search_news) that matches the server's domain exactly. No competing conventions exist to create inconsistency.
A single search tool is defensible for a news-lookup service, and it folds several behaviors (top stories, since-based refresh, interest weighting) into one endpoint. However, one tool is on the thin side and leaves no room for complementary operations like fetching an article or listing sources.
The core read path (search stories, grouped events, reports, next_since pagination) is covered, but there are notable gaps: no way to retrieve a full article or excerpt beyond the lead, no source/outlet listing, no story follow-up or related-coverage tool. The trial limits (1 search/day, 3 stories) further constrain practical coverage.
Available Tools
1 toolsearch_newsSearch Polymath NewsAInspect
Search current news for a specific reader. Covers technology, AI, business, policy, and media and entertainment (about 500 curated sources, not all news). Returns one list of stories, best match first: events, each grouped across the outlets covering it, with every article (publisher, date, link), the lead article's excerpt, the names in it, and which of your terms it matches and how well (0 to 1). Then Polymath reports, with title, insight and link. Put topics in "interests": 3 to 8 specific topics, named the way a news desk would ("AI regulation", "data centers"). The name of a person or a company works as an interest too ("Nvidia"). Each interest gets its fair share of the list, and the reply says what each one found, including nothing. "query" is for keywords. "profile" says who you work for: it tailors reports and rarely selects stories by itself. "since" returns only what is new or updated after a time; every reply gives next_since, the value to pass next time. With no arguments it returns the top stories right now. No API key was sent, so this is a trial: 1 searches a day, up to 3 stories per search, report titles and links only.
Inputs: query, since, detail, profile, +3 more. Returns: notes, since, terms, detail, +14 more
